Second circular for PST05

The XI-th Workshop on Polarized Sources and Targets will be held on
November 14-17, 2005 at the University of Tokyo, Japan. The workshop
will be co-hosted by RIKEN and the Center for Nuclear Study , the
University of Tokyo. About 70 scientists from different institutes
are expected to participate.

The workshop is a traditional one to discuss physics and technologies
related to the polarized gas/solid targets, polarized electron/ion/neutron
sources, and polarimetry.
Main technologies to polarize nuclei are commonly used for different
applications. For example, irradiation of polarized photon from laser
diodes can be used to produce polarized proton/deuteron/electron beams,
and to polarize 3He and Xe nuclei. It will clearly provide a good
opportunity for scientists in the related fields to exchange ideas and
information on the recent progresses of adjacent fields. For the above
purpose, the workshop program will be organized from the view point of
the technical methods, but not of applications, as listed below.

The Workshop will be held in the Yayoi Auditorium Ichijo Hall, the
Yayoi campus (next to the Hongo campus) of the University of Tokyo,
Japan. The Ichijo Hall was constructed in 2000 to celebrate the
125th-years anniversary of establishment of the Department of
Agriculture. The hall employs various wooden materials for
energy-saving and harmony with environment. Around the campus, you
can enjoy a real Japanese atmosphere and tradition.
The invited talks and contributed talks will be presented in the
plenary session. Contributions to poster presentations are also
welcome. The second circular containing information about the
scientific and social programs, instructions for submitting
contributed papers, as well as detail informations of hotel and
travel, will be distributed in March 2005.

materials for energy-saving and harmony with environment. Around the
campus, you will enjoy a real japanese atmosphere and tradition.
The plenary talks and contributed talks will be held in this hall.
The poster session will also be arranged. The second circular will
contain information about the scientific and social programs,
instructions for submitting contributed papers, as well as hotel
and travel information.

There are many local hotels ($70-$90/night) within 15-minute walking
distance from the workshop site. The organizer will provide the
hotel recommendation on our web site.

Climate
The average temperature in November in Tokyo is about 15 - 20 degrees
Celsius in the daytime and about 10 - 15 in the nighttime.
